Heliothrips Haliday View in CoL
Only three extant species are here recognized in this genus, although two further names are listed in ThripsWiki (2015). One of these, H. ardisiae Zimmermann , is an unrecognizable nomen dubium from Java, and the other a fossil species in Baltic Amber. The three species are all Neotropical in origin, with one South African species previously placed here referred below to a new genus. The species of Heliothrips have 8-segmented antennae with segment VIII elongate ( Figs 4–6 View FIGURES 1 – 7 ), simple sense cones on segments III and IV, fore wing with apex rounded, the costal margin with long cilia, and the costal and first veins fused and bearing minute setae ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ). An identification key to the world genera of Panchaetothripinae is provided by Wilson (1975).
Diagnosis: Macropterous, body surface dark brown when mature, strongly reticulate. Antennae 8-segmented, III and IV each with one simple sense cone, VIII longer than VII, segments with no microtrichia. Head with short neck, compound eyes with 6 pigmented facets; maxillary palps 2-segmented. Pronotum transverse, with no long setae. Metascutum with prominent sculptured triangle. Fore wing apex round, costal vein fused to first longitudinal vein and bearing long cilia, veinal setae inconspicuous. Tarsi 1-segmented. Abdominal tergites reticulate except sub-medially on III–VII, with strong antecostal ridge; VIII with long comb of microtrichia complete medially, VII with comb weak and irregular medially; tergal median setae longer than distance between their bases, submedian setae arise close to campaniform sensilla; IX and X bearing microtrichia, at least near posterior margins, X divided longitudinally. Male tergite IX with 3 pairs of stout setae; sternites III–VII each with transverse pore plate.
